Discovering Self-Discovery

Living with purpose isn’t about searching for a single, predefined mission—it’s about pouring yourself into everything you do with passion, intention, and meaning, so don’t waste time trying to find your purpose—go out and live it.

You might’ve heard the question: “What do you believe your life’s purpose is?”

I hate that question. What does that even mean? And how do you know when you’ve found it?  

We’re pressured to believe that our purpose has to be some grand mission, a perfect career, or a lifelong passion. But what if it’s not? What if you never have that one thing that defines your life? Does that mean you don’t have purpose?  

I don’t think so.  

Purpose isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s not a job title or a destination. It’s a way of living. It’s about how you show up every day, how you pour yourself into what you do—whether it’s your career, your relationships, or even the smallest tasks.  

We don’t need to find our purpose—we need to live with purpose. And that’s when life stops being something you just go through… and starts being something you truly live.

There’s a Greek word: Meraki (μεράκι). It means to put a piece of yourself into everything you do—to do something with love, passion, creativity, and devotion. That’s what living with purpose looks like.  

So don’t waste time trying to find your purpose. Go out and create it.
